us, usa, usa! >> it is absolutely essential that together we lead america to a better place than that. we are four days away from a fresh start. four days away from the first day of a new beginning. my conviction that better days are ahead is not based on promised and hollow rhetoric but on proven results and an unshakable faith in the american spirit. if there is anyone worried that the last four years are the best we can do. if anyone fears is american dream is fading, if there is anyone who wonders whether better jobs and better pay checks are a thing of the past, i have a clear message, with the right leadership, america is coming roaring back. [applause] we are americans, we can do anything. the only thing that stands between us and some of the best years we've ever known is a lack of leadership and that's why we have elections. this tuesday is a moment to look into the future and imagine what we can do. put the past four years behind us and start building a new future. you saw the differences

leading us to ask, why? because a vocal minority on the hard left continues to argue to leaders on their party from the president down the democrats in washington should do absolutely nothing about short-term or long-term spending problems. this is the thelma and louise crowd that wants to dream about high taxes and bigger government that it will pay for, regardless of the impact on jobs or the economy or america's standing in the world. these are the ones who have recklessly ignored the fact we cannot keep running trillion dollar deficits every year. somebody suggests that maybe the taxpayers should not keep subsidizing every last program. their reckless and idiotic approach threatens our very future. anyone who is serious about solving the problems we face should ignore all of that, starting with the president. the election is over, but the economy and fiscal problems of the past several years have only gotten worse. it is time for the president to present a plan that rises above these reckless and radical

don't like us. the jewish vote doesn't like us. so my question is if we just had a totally democratic party, total and not have a republican party, what would really happen? the democrats would then decide who gets what, who does what, who pays what? i'm just finding the republican party is just -- i just don't want to work anymore. i've just lost heart because i don't see any point. guest: american politics seems to be cyclical. parties have a bigotry ump and a couple of years later the tables turn. democrats thought it was smooth sail after 2008. 2010 they lost big. so it's premature to write the epitaph for the republican party. the wheel will turn again. that being said t republicans have some challenges ahead they have to figure out a way to deal with. host: the caller brings up the female vote in this election, obama winning the female vote 55% to mitt romney's 55%. that was down from 2008 when obama won 56% to 43%. guest: if you got a little deeper into the numbers it's not so much there is a

the answers to these questions are on us. all of us. all of our hard work and progress that we have made it all at stake. the traces in this race are clear. -- choices in this race are clear. as my husband said, this election will be closer than the last one. it will come down to what happens in a few battleground states like right here in virginia. as you start gearing up for the next four days, but me put some things in perspective. how close these elections are. in 2008, barack 1 va is by about 235,000 votes. when you break that down across an entire state, that is 100 votes per precinct. in north carolina, the margin of difference was closer. it was five votes per precinct. think about that. that could mean just one vote in a neighborhood. a single vote in an apartment building on your college campus. if there is anyone here, anyone you know who may be thinking that their vote does not matter, that their involvement does not count and in this political process that ordinary folks cannot make a difference, they can. think about those
